    Default weird noise from the turbo.

    I have a chattering noise coming from the turbo i think? But only when its cold, it does happen until i drive it. but when it warms up it goes.
    Is this normal?
    Please help!

    Sounds like the bearings knackered. As the bearing heats up and expends, it is less noticable.

    A turbo rebuild may be needed

    You could try removing the inlet hoses to the turbo to see if there is any play in the shaft. There should be very little to no movement.
